Direct TV Reviews

I would never recommend Directv to anyone
I have been extremly unsatisfied with DirectTv from the first day. Their company as a whole is extremly uneducated and they need improvements in every area. Never expect for their routing to be done in a timely or cost efficient manner. Their customer service is no where near excellent. Every one always tells a lie just to get you to buy into their service. I was told that I would have local channels and when the tech installed it he even lied to me and told me that I would, come to find out they do not even offer local channels in my area. They are overpriced and everyone that I have talked to is more than rude. The local office staff are very inexperienced and apparantly do not know how to run a successful business. The management hires rude office staff and installation techs. I would never recommend Directv to anyone.

Cancelation and continuing Charges
ON November 2nd of 2009 I called Direct TV to cancel service. The represntitive indicated that she would send out a prepaid return service kit to place my equipment in. I did not recieve the kit and called again. Again they indicated a box was shipped. I recieved the box and returned the equipment. 2 months goes by and I get 2 charges for $569.90. I called and was told that they had no idea what the charges where for and they would be reversed in 24 hours. I did not get the refund and called again to ask why and was told it was for equipment charges, late fees, early cancelation. I explained who I had talked to and when. I was told that a refund would be sent in 48 hours. No refund. I called agin and was told again it was for equipment and they had not recieved it. I checked the FedEx web site and it showed it being received and by whom. I called again.I was told a refund of $270 would be sent by check in 6-8 weeks. I dont even think this is legal as they must refund to the same account they took it from. I spoke with my bank who called direct TV and asked for a statement and itemiized accounting. Direct Tv could not give it to them. They indicated I would resieve a statement in 3 days. I never recieved it. I am now headed for small claims court to get a judgement and then try to collect. I have posted all my issues with Direct Tv on my company web site for all employees to see. Do not use Direct TV, Run for your life, dont sign anything and DONT give them a CC number, Account number.

Not getting local channels
Decided to get Direct TV, called up the company came and set us up, told us that we would have no problem getting local channels, two months later nothing. Called Direct TV back they told me they would have to send In a waiver to the networks to get It approved then was denied, company never told us It was denied I had to call the company back to find that out. This was advertised on the flyer I recieved In the mail that we would get local channels. I then called the company back to ask about an antenna then thay have the gaul to ask for 99.00 for set up. This Is a huge disappointment I am so upset I made a change from Dish to Direct TV.Christine Langwell

Contract and Cancellation Fees
The salesmen at AT&T stores that sell DirectTVdo not tell you that you are under contract for 18-24 months. So when you decide to cancel due to being unsatisfied or simply because you are moving out after a year, you have to pay a cancellation fee you didn't know about for a contract you didn't know you had. We all know that the cell phone services are under contract. But they purposely fail to tell you that DirectTv service is under contract as well. You will never hear them mention contracts in a commercial!

Canellation fees rip-off
I created an account with DIRECT TV, starting on April 17, 2009. MOST of the information given to me when creating the account was false, monthly bill about 37$, cancellation fees 200$. but my first bill was 73$, I called Direct TV they asked me to pay 52$ only. second bill was 104$, third one was 74$, I sent email to consumer protection (better business) and Direct TV apologized for any inconvenience and promised to fix the problem and my bill will be about 40$ but they kept charging me for 73$ amonth, so I caneled my service now Direct TV asking me for 400 $ for canellation fees and 144$ for bills, don't trust this company.

This company is committing fraud
Direct TV charged my credit card $238. when I cancelled service after 6 months. I disputed it on my Discover card and was credited the money. Yesterday I got a bill from Direct TV for $238. They reversed the credit card bill. I never signed an 18 month contract and this company is committing fraud. They need to be stopped. I will do what I can to remedy this.

Horrible company and lousy customer service
I had direct tv for a year when it was discovered i had cancer. I needed to move to ca for treatment. Direct tv charged me 460.00 for termination even though the satalite was in place. This is the worse company i have ever dealt with. Do not do business with these scoundrels. Do not expect any help from politicians as they are in the same category. Serious go to a reputable company, any company that requires a contract is a rip off.I will make it my lifes work to warn people about this horrible company and lousy customer service.

Equipment lease fraud
I was a Direct TV user for over 13 years and never had trouble with my equipment. I upgraded to High-Def and had to "lease" new equipment, both a High-Def receiver and a Standard-Def receiver. 9 months later, the Standard-Def receiver would not power on.

After being on hold off and on, I was finally informed Direct TV would replace my receiver - for a $19.95 handling fee. I informed them why should I pay to replace a piece of equipment that I did not own, that I was leasing - is that not what the monthly lease fee covers? I asked to speak with a supervisor and was put on hold for several more minutes. The original person came back on the line (no supervisor) and informed me they could waive the $19.95 handling fee if I purchased an extended warranty - On Leased Equipment!!!

So I asked if they were refusing to replace my 9 month old receiver. They informed me I have to pay the handling fee. I informed them they broke the contract and also technically broke a the lease agreement for the equipment. I cancelled my service and now they want me to pay a cancellation fee.

I strongly feel it is time to stand up to these companies and their cancellation fees. They can provide lousy, or no service, and still get us to pay to leave. I will join in on any class action.

Destruction done to my home
Reckless damage to our house. Even worse is the posturing of the "claims officials" of Direct TV . All we are insisting on is licensed and bonded referrenced contractors to give estimates. What are you hiding Direct TV? Reckless installers!!!Arrogant Big Lake Manager says that the gouges in our knock down textured cathedral wall that contains surround sound speakers, can just be buffed out!!!
